Tinubu Admits Stubbornness in Early Administration

During an interfaith breakfast held at the Presidential Villa, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu acknowledged that he was "stubborn" at the onset of his administration while trying to implement key policy reforms. He made these remarks in front of senior journalists, highlighting the importance of their role in holding public officials accountable.

Tinubu expressed his determination to address long-standing challenges affecting Nigerians, particularly the poor, and mentioned his efforts to strengthen Nigeria's federal structure. He noted that reforms would allow local governments to receive allocations directly from the federal government, aiming to ease the financial burdens on citizens.

Tinubu emphasized that he remains committed to correcting issues that hinder governance and urged journalists to continue their critical reporting, which he views as essential for effective governance and public accountability.
